In transporting large musical instruments, school projects, or other large articles, the following will apply:
- The driver will not permit the transportation of any item that will block the aisle or exits of the bus.
- No item will be placed in the driver's compartment.
- All items carried by a student will be under his/her control at all times.
- The size of an item should be such that it can be carried on the student's lap or on the floor of the bus; in either case, it will not extend beyond or above the height of the seat in front of the student. (The length of an instrument case cannot exceed 40 inches.)
- If space is available onboard the bus, a large musical instrument may be allowed if only one student is assigned to one bench seat, if the instrument case does not extend beyond the height of the seat backs, and if the instrument case is placed on the floor next to the window on the school bus.
- Some students may need the assistance of oxygen or mechanical ventilation devices during their bus ride. All equipment used by students who are technologically dependent must be secured so that it does not become detached from the individual dispensing unit nor become a projectile in the event of an impact. Health plans for students who are technologically dependent will be attached to their modified transportation form.
